“Ask and Ye Shall Receive.”
Macarons in more subtle colors! Now, I like these- especially the taupe, pink and burgundy!!!!!
If anyone is interested in the buffalo, Moynat is sold-out, but will take orders.
The medallions, aka logo macarons, are $140USD.

very cute! Thanks for the pictures @Sourisbrune! Is this Gabrielle pm? I saw this color in store and it’s so beautiful!! I like this selection of colors for the medallions much more, but the marquetry ones still win hands down.

I am not a pink person at all, but this colour calls out to me every time I see it.

The colours on this batch of macarons are definitely a lot better. I'd be curious to see a tone on tone for a subtler effect? That might defeat the purpose though.

I’ve heard, the usual adorable marquetry medallions will not be out this winter. I am unsure why, but I’m thinking Covid might be the reason. They will hopefully have some out by Summer 2021.
P.S.: I’ll ask the size of the Gabrielle.

Those require quite a bit of skill (vs. the stamped logo ones) - probably they are hard at work cranking on the new bag designs as priority.

Somehow I missed the buffalo. Cute as can be, but I am happy that I managed to grab up a couple of other nice ones from Ramesh era.

So a very curious update today on my Black & Cognac Danse. The Paris store received it and is preparing to ship it out to me, but it is the new version with the Cognac piping on the side.

I asked if there were more design updates and am waiting on an answer for that. However, I find it very curious that I got the sales price for this bag. I wonder if the sales price was an error?

Honestly I do have mixed feelings about the piping simply because I didn't get to see that version in person. I had also planned on using black strap for a mostly black look sometimes, but with the piping I won't get that.

Just...hmm. I'm not too surprised since I knew it was coming from the workshop. But somehow I am very confused too.

Interesting - the black/cognac that Paris had previously sent me was without the cognac piping as well. This one looks more 'stiff' for some reason - maybe it has to do with that piping? I prefer it without the cognac piping but I have not seen either in person.

I did see the black non-piped version in person and I liked it, but it was completely structure-less save for the back pocket. I think the cognac piping might help with maintaining the shape a bit.

Otherwise, I'm not sure if the stitching/structure will be better or worse for it. I don't mind the idea of wear showing on the piping so much, but I'm not sure if my stuff will fit the same way as it did in the non-piped version.

I'm keeping an open mind about it, but the sale has been very confusing and borderline overwhelming to navigate. I also believe this will be my post-Ramesh design purchase so I'm curious what I'll see.

The cognac piping definitely gives it a "sportier" look, but I appreciate the point that it may support the structure of the bag, making it more versatile.

Also intrigued that the Paris boutique seems to have some activity - I think the boutique went into lockdown Friday 10/30 and thought orders were not being shipped out (I have an order in the queue for a legacy sale piece, not a custom...)

Has anyone heard updates from Paris?

Aaaaaahhhhhh, not Buffalo. I meant cow. Chinese New Year 2021. These are Ramesh design era. They originally came out earlier this year.

There must be some confusion about the sale items. At first I was told this version was on sale, then another contact said it isn’t, which was a surprise to the first. I’m thinking the continuation, of certain older, revamped designs, has blurred the sale/not-on-sale line. How confusing and frustrating for clients, and the staff. This hasn’t been a stellar year for anyone, including Moynat. I hope things get worked out in 2021.

The Paris staff is allowed to go in 2 days a week and they take care of online/distant orders, so communication is a bit spotty because of the lockdown. My Paris SA said they're taking care of some things and will send me a tracking number soon, so I'm expecting that in the coming days.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty rough transitional period for Moynat this time around. I did approve of this bag being shipped (my SA said the piping was the only change to give the bag a bit more structure. The extreme floppiness was something I liked about the older version, but I'm still keeping an open mind about it. I think I'll be satisfied as long as the PM still fits everything it did when I tried it on in store and stays comfortably light.

For 2021 most of my wishlist items are very classic pieces/color combos (Rejane BB in Black and Gold, Gaby PM/MM in Taupe and Silver) so I don't feel any particular rush to get them. I considered picking up a Ribbon Oh! Tote, but I do like the ones I have already so any new totes I buy would need something like a zipper for me to consider it.

I'm not sure what I'm feeling about Moynat. Even though there are things I'm not so in love with, the quality and price point is still pretty fair compared to the brands I was shopping before (YSL, Chanel, LV). That said, I'm a bit apprehensive about the quality going forward and some of the design choices have been questionable imo.
